Greg Focker: Uh no, the guy at the window did, why?
Jack Byrnes: Well they say geniuses pick green.
Greg Focker: Oh.
Jack Byrnes: But you didn't pick it.

According to about.com, the color green represents nature, tranquility, good luck, health, and jealousy. It can also improve reading ability and is apparently a symbol of fertility. Most notably is relieves stress and gives a calming effect.
Green is a great color to use in any room. However, I don't really think I would like green as a paint color in my bedroom; although it seems to be associated with all the attributes you may want in a bedroom. If I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone I know use it as a paint color in their bedroom. I wonder why that is? The below pics, however, may work to persuade me. The color green, however, exists in some form in almost any home.
Many paint colors with a green tint to them somehow work to give a contemporary effect (check out Tavern Taupe by Sherwin Williams and Indian Rhubarb by Benjamin Moore). Always remember, colors exist outside its purest form. Play around a bit with different shades and tones. You can find a shade you like with almost any color.
